- Today, we were put into groups of four. Each team was assigned a specific type of organic chemistry group with examples. We were to come up with rules for naming them. Afterwards, we all came together and shared what we learned, taking down the following notes:
Functional Groups
_________________________________________________
Halides
- Halogen atoms replace a hydrogen- Bromo, Chloro, Floro
Alcohols
- OH or hydroxyl group- Change the ending to -ol
_________________________________________________
Ketones
- Oxygen atom double bonded to carbon
- Change the ending to -one
Propanone (Acetone)
Ethers
- Have an O joining two carbon chains together
- Name each carbon chain with -yl ending and add 'ether'
The following is the first part of a series of videos made by a student on the functional groups in organic chemistry:
